be aware that Washington state law (RCW 43.43.832) permits businesses or organizations that provide services to children, vulnerable
adults or developmentally disabled persons to request criminal history records. Facilities
used for clinical work experience in the allied health programs require criminal history
clearance before beginning any clinical activities. Criminal record checks are required
of all students accepted into the allied health programs within 45 days of beginning
the program. Conviction of certain crimes may prevent completion of clinical course
requirements (thereby preventing completion of the program) and may prevent further
licensing and employment in the healthcare field.
